Abstract excerpt
The human interleukin(IL)-18 is a key regulator of interferon(IFN)-gamma production and T-cell differentiation. Here we report the complete genomic structure and characterization of the 5'untranslated promoter region of the human IL-18 gene. The gene is composed of six exons and five introns, spanning approximately 19. 5kb. Promoter activity of the 5'-flanking region was investigated with a luciferase reporter...
